Wish this was fake news. Saw a news report about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. The Head of the Health Department is being charged with involuntary manslaughter. Involuntary? He must have had a good lawyer.
Because there is no way that a department head did not VOLUNTEER to not say or do anything about a public health crisis!!!
Nick Lyon is charged with FAILING “to alert the public to an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in Flint, Michigan, linked to the city’s lead-contaminated water crisis”.
Those are the kind of people you need working at a health department and anywhere that health services are provided who are responsible for making critical decisions. The kind without a conscience.
The charges are related to an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease linked to the city's lead-contaminated water crisis.

It's better to be warned , if it's true then it's really bad for those who had consumed before it is resorted.

We were shocked by the very first news on this crisis during 2016 because the contaminated water had already made so many children sick. But the news continues to develop around this and I wish it would stop. You don't want it to get worse but it keeps getting worse.

There are way too many people today that have no working conscience and care little about people.

@cmoneyspinner Isn't that what selfishness is all about, doing whatever may suit us regardless of the harm done to others?

I watched a film recently with my husband. He finished it. I fell asleep. That's been our routine for the past 40 years. 
But there was a scene where the psychiatrist was questioning the man about why he kept a diary. The man said he wanted others to know that he did not agree with the things that he did. That he was not that type of person. It was like he was 2 different people. The psychiatrist told him that he had no excuse for his actions because he still did those horrific acts. The psychiatrist asked him how did he reconcile with those “2 people” in his mind what he did. The man said that even though Personality A did not agree, Personality B did it just to keep his job. The movie was based on a true story. I don't know if those were the man's true words or if that was just the script. But perhaps that's the way it is in real life with so many of us. We just learn how to live and work with a “double mind”.

@cmoneyspinner The people in official government positions are responsible for the people'health,rather than just considering how to save money.

People in official government positions made a bad decision to save money. It got ugly when the harmful health impact became known and then the parties responsible did not want to own up and be held accountable for that bad decision.

@cmoneyspinner I agree on that. I heard this from my American colleague before. American people do drink straight from the tap water.

I suppose he wanted to keep his job and as a result endangered the entire city, what a loser.
